$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(4 x + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}$$
Limit((1 + 4*x)^(1/x), x, 0)
Detail solution
Let's take the limit
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(4 x + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}$$
transform
do replacement
$$u = \frac{1}{4 x}$$
then
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{4}{\frac{1}{x}}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}$$ =
=
$$\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{4 u}$$
=
$$\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{4 u}$$
=
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{4}$$
The limit
$$\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}$$
is second remarkable limit, is equal to e ~ 2.718281828459045
then
$$\left(\left(\lim_{u \to 0^+} \left(1 + \frac{1}{u}\right)^{u}\right)\right)^{4} = e^{4}$$

The final answer:
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+} \left(4 x + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{x}} = e^{4}$$
Lopital's rule
There is no sense to apply Lopital's rule to this function since there is no indeterminateness of 0/0 or oo/oo type
